### 2/5 — Down Hill!

*2026-08-25, version 6.3.0*

I’ve used this app for a few years now. At the beginning it was great! I could check for the trains and buses. I noticed about a year ago it all changed. You could no longer see the CTA trains and now I have to PAY see buses that are no less than 5 minutes from each other. It’s not work paying for if I can’t even see the trains.

### 2/5 — Money hungry.. used to be good

*2026-08-25, version 6.3.0*

This app was by far the best transit app. However, now that you have to pay to “unlock” certain bus lines and if you don’t pay they won’t even show and option to ride it

### 3/5 — Why does it mess up with time

*2026-08-25, version 6.3.0*

Good but messy

### 4/5 — Great app, just some reoccurring issues

*2026-08-25, version 6.3.0*

This is a great app, helps me tremendously because I take the train to and from work all the time. However, several times now, the app kind of glitches where it no longer shows the correct route. It just bounces back and forth from downtown and the suburbs. The line names also change for some reason. I reported it once and it was solved within a few days, but it started happening again a few days ago. Other than that it is a fantastic app, it quickly gives delay updates and always accurately shows when the next train is arriving.

### 4/5 — Suggestion

*2026-08-25, version 6.3.0*

I would suggest adding light rail , Amtrak, ferries more to app,  I like app just could use more ways to travel.

### 3/5 — It’s okay

*2026-08-25, version 6.3.0*

It’s okay not really great especially when the bus doesn’t come on time most of the time or it changes time even when there is no traffic in sight so yes a 3 out of five

### 4/5 — Fine

*2026-08-24, version 6.3.0*

Would be better if the time weren't inaccurate so much and now you can't even check the future schedules of buses that are inactive without paying 🙄

### 1/5 — Reviews are ai bots

*2026-08-24, version 6.3.0*

This app sucks dont use it unless you wanna pay the bus fair along with a buss app subscription. Waste of money.

### 1/5 — Wrong times

*2026-08-23, version 6.3.0*

Inaccurate times for the Laguna beach trolley. Not sure why they switched apps. Times are never correct and you can no longer see where the trolley is.

### 1/5 — 0/5

*2026-08-23, version 6.3.0*

Horaires constamment en retard. J’ai dû manquer une cinquantaine d’autobus à cause d’erreur de l’application. Ça propose jamais le trajet le plus efficace et ça ne s’adapte pas avec les changements d’horaire des arrêts que la STM fait.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-08-23, version 6.3.0*

Often doesn’t show when buses are coming, or spreads them hours apart from each other. Missed my bus multiple times because of this. Granted, my transit system is trash as well, but the app makes it so much worse when I can’t even figure out when to leave.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — silly app

*2026-08-25, version 6.3.0*

google and other websites recommend this app to buy tickets. I can’t find a place of this app to buy ticket at all. It’s too hard to use it.

### 1/5 — Inaccurate information

*2026-08-25, version 6.2.3*

Two stars it’s worst I. Tacoma than Puyallup

### 1/5 — Your damn app not working

*2026-08-25, version 6.3.0*

I literally missed the bus to my way to work because your bus said that it was basically eight minutes away and it was actually one minute away and it didn’t wanna update in time and I got clear service and everything so thanks a lot Transit you just FREAKIN  made me late

### 1/5 — Bus times

*2026-08-25, version 6.3.0*

Never gives the right bus times it is always lying fix the app

### 1/5 — Bus service

*2026-08-24, version 6.3.0*

Bus 709 in the morning is never on time and driver drives like a snail. We miss our connecting tram and are late for work

### 1/5 — Terrible for Pittsburgh

*2026-08-24, version 6.3.0*

The app continuously suggested I catch the T from Oakland, which is impossible. I had to pay for more options. They suggested I take an express bus home, which I actually cannot do. It is not updated and does not give you correct bus routes.

### 1/5 — inaccurate times

*2026-08-24, version 6.3.0*

caused me to miss my bus multiple times, even after leaving 10 minutes before the suggested go time, the bus i would tracking would suddenly disappear halfway while i was walking or switch me to a different one completely. horrible app

### 1/5 — Rubbish (for the UK)

*2026-08-24, version 6.3.0*

No bus-only mode, can’t see live arrivals unless a stop is nearby, thinks tram is cancelled in both directions when it’s only cancelled eastwards… interesting UI but overall pointless app

### 1/5 — App is horrible

*2026-08-24, version 6.3.0*

Times inaccurate, the rats in the subway are more accurate than this app

### 1/5 — Worst app you can download on the appstore

*2026-08-24, version 6.3.0*

If youre trying to be late or youre just trying to get lost somewhere you’re never been well i have the perfect app for you. the whole purpose of the app is to help with transit due to the name but it wont do nothing for you but to get you fuccin lost. Thank you and whoever programmed this bs re program it

### 5/5 — A must have for NYC riders
